International Surgical Practice

Book Overview

This volume highlights recent developments in surgical practice throughout the world. Although certain disorders are largely confined to geographical locations, there is a great need for specialists to be familiar with advances in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions which may be rarely encountered in individual practice. This book draws on the expertise of leading internationally recognized surgeons with knowledge of controversial management issues. Of particular importance to the general surgeon are contributions relating to hepatobiliary disorders - acalculous biliary disease, portal hypertension, hepatocellular carcinoma, and the treatment of liver metastases. This important book will promote collaboration between members of the international surgical community for purposes of medical education and training.
